The overall reputation of the company is marred by significant customer dissatisfaction, primarily due to issues with ticket delivery, refund policies, and customer service responsiveness. Many customers report being charged exorbitant fees, receiving invalid tickets, and facing unresponsive support channels, leading to frustrations and claims of being scammed. While some customers appreciate the variety of events offered, the overwhelming sentiment reflects a lack of trust and reliability. The company's rigid policies regarding refunds, particularly for postponed events, further exacerbate negative perceptions, suggesting a need for improved customer service and clearer communication.

It was easy to order online, the site was fine and I didn't really look at prices on other tickets sites, although I should have. I just wanted to make sure I got tickets for this particular event. I also don't like the fact that the original purchasers name is till on the tickets. The site says that it is ok and the tickets are transferrable, I just don't want to deal with the hassle in the future of a possibly uneducated ticket taker that may give me a hard time. Oh well, lesson Learned.
I'd give this company a 0 if i could. A 50% markup on ticket prices and a large fee added to every ticket. Went to ticketmaster right after my purchase and saved 100.00, and i was able to print them immediately. Third party agencies like this should be regulated.
$91.50 Service Charge + $6.95 for email delivery charge for total of $98.45 is so ridiculously expensive. Will not buy through this site again.
I really don't want to enter a comment. This part is the most frustrating being ask to give a minimum 100 or more. Grrrrrrr
Great experience cant wait to go very easy to understand what seats you were getting. Liked the instant download of the tickets
I was a bit apprehensive wondering if I would purchase the tickets correctly for the event.; I do not have a lot of computer savvy. Lo and behold, I did it and received all the necessary correspondence to attend the event. Thank you in advance, all from the fingertips of my computer!
I did not get to see the show because the lady said that the tickets that I bought were invalid, I then tried to fix the issur by calling and nothing, I will try calling again today
No tickets yet... why do i have to write a review and give out all my information befre i even get my tickets to see where i am sitting This looks like a rip off
If I had realized that the price of the tickets was higher than the actual price of the seat I would've gone straight to the venue. Which I thought I was on their sight. The ticket price was almost double. Rip Off. The site itself was easy to use.
I loved using this site! It was easy to use and Ill definitely use it again! Cant wait to see the play in March!
Louis was helpful, kind, understanding, patient, helpful, and very accommodating. I found that of all the ticket places I called your price was lowest. Louis was personable.
Excellent service from the fella on the other end. Worked with me to find best seat in our price range. Shocked when e-ticket arrived showing additional 28% fees of $169 US. WTF?
Site was difficult to use and quite complicated. Why did you need to send me another E-mail before I could print thew tickets?
It's ok to buy a ticket especially for foreigners.
It's simple to buy and choose the Place.
I go tonight with friends and I hope it will be awesome
Abby was extremely patient with me as i had quite a few questions. His answers were very thorough and clear.
Easy to get through quickly and painlessly. Very good at explaining everything to you.
Only thing I'd suggest is, if you need to go back to look at the seating and you have already filled out shipping and such, make it so that your information is saved.
Answer: In my case, they sent e-mail that the tickets would be forthcoming. When I failed to receive them the week before the concert, per e-mail download as promised, I called their #, the person on the other end told me that it was will-call at the box-office with the copy of the e-mail I needed to bring. The box office told me that as a 2nd line seller, they did not keep them there. When I called to ask why they did this to me and demanded re-imbursal, they sent the tickets per e-mail download THE DAY AFTER THE CONCERT. They tried to cover their tracks with the credit card company, the problem for them was that the time stamp of their sending the tickets reflected the day after the concert. So essentially, they are not even competent as rip-off artists.
Answer: So sorry to hear you have been conned by this outfit. Apparently sometimes they DO send valid tickets, so I hope you are one of the lucky ones. I suggest you tell your credit card company (by phone and IN WRITING) that you are disputing this charge. Also tell everyone you know to avoid this rip-off company. I know this doesnt help you now, but in the future buy tickets only from Ticketmaster (I've never had a problem with them). Good luck.
Answer: I couldn't even open the download so I called the number and all I got was an answering system to send email and I did but no reply from them so the next day a call about 50 times until I got someone. After getting transferred to 3 different people and waiting about an hour for the supervisor the guy told me no refunds are allowed but money is 100% guarantee if it doesn't work at the time of the event. So I'm praying to God they are good the event isn't until the end of November
Answer: They are scoundrels. I know where their office is and went by there recently. I am laying out a plan.
Answer: If you have already purchased your tickets from this outfit, good luck. They sent me tickets for a concert in Tennessee and I asked for and live in Florida. They said it was MY mistake and that I asked for TN. They supposedly tried to resell the tickets and couldn't so I was out $300.00 for two tickets. They have something like 130 complaints and are a scam outfit. Next time order elsewhere and good luck with these tickets.
Answer: I just cancelled my order because they never sent the tickets. At least you got yours so maybe they will be okay. I would call the arena where the event will be and ask them how many issues they have had with this company. I emailed five times and they always sent an automated response back. Then, when I was in a meeting at work they finally called and the number just read, "33333" when they called me. No return phone number... very strange. They left a message to call them so I did immediately after my meeting (15 minutes)... the automated system was up and did not allow me to speak with a person. Thus far, I have never spoken to a real person when I call their number. I disputed the purchase, got my money back and bought tickets for much less at StubHub. I was surprised because my last tickets at Stubhub were kind of expensive... but these tickets (McCartney) were not too crazy expensive. Anyway, best of luck, and I would make a back up plan.
Answer: You will get your tickets, but they will likely have someone else's name printed on them. Worst of all, they will most likely not be honored at the gate/box office. My advice is to get a refund NOW and buy tickets from a reputable outlet like Ticketmaster. City Online are thieves and scammers. See my review about James Taylor concert in Norfolk, Virginia.
Answer: Contact the venue, give them all the details on the tickets received and verify if U will be able to legitimately use the tickets, considering the issues with this company that are so overwhelming. My experience reviewing all the people who describe their issues with them is that even if the tickets are usable, the overpayment is so excessive that it would have been better dealing with the regular ticket outlet for the venue.
Answer: Yes Ann, you will get your tickets. You just over paid by a HUGE amount... but other then that, the company is legit. They are just robbers the way they do it... thats all. Have a good time and yes, at least now you learned a lesson (like all of us on this site);-)
